Chinamasa explains why people now need import licences

 

HON. CHINAMASA: Madam Speaker, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and Government has accurate figures and statistics on production of goods which are produced in Zimbabwe. We are aware of the national demand for those specific products and we are also aware of the gap between the level of production and national demand. The measures which are being taken are targeting only those goods which are locally produced, and for which we know the local production is meeting national demand.

If there are any queries, I am sure those affected will engage the Ministry of Industry and Commerce so that if there is any mistake, it can be corrected. Overally, we have the statistics to know what is now locally produced because we have been supporting a lot of local firms in order to produce those goods and services. – [HON. MEMEBR: Inaudible interjections.] –
